high i have created an elevator model for my level and assigned the elev behavior to it and adjusted the height that it goes up. but i cant ride it. when it goes up i fall str8 through it like a ghost. is there an option i must click to change this?

Is the "passable" flag on?

NO ITS NOT

I've never dealt with elevators but I think the player has to have some special scripting to make it ride it (could be wrong, but I'm always seeing elevator threads). Search the forum since this has been asked hundreds of times.

I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE AND CANT FIND HELP ON THIS. AND THE ELEVATOR HAS TO BE USED TO ACCESS THE OTHER PARTS OF THE LEVEL

Elevator is the model?
If yes try to set my.polygon = on; to elevator's action and remove fat and narrow and of'course set my.passable = off;
If nothing will help, but should be, then create invisible block on the elevator's floor and move them both (elevator and block);

If you persist in using caps you will be grounded Joking aside, most people tend to ignore 'All Caps' as that indicates rude behavior and is considered yelling.

You want help? be polite.

Now then, check the AUM issues, many elevator help subjects there as well as the search function.

You can find the AUM series in the links on this page.

Have fun man...

sounds to me like either the elevator isn't using c_move (or even ent_move for that matter) or its push value is higher than that of the model standing on it. this would be a problem if the model's origin is too low or its bounding box surrounds it too well because then whatever trace it is doing to detect the ground won't try to push it above anything that comes too close.

or, like Nems said, calm down and give the AAUMs (the extra A is for Awesome) a go

i am not sure but back in the old days elevators where made as map entities to prevent the problem your having.

- Make a elevator model in wed
- Build it and save it in your work folder as map entitie
- place the elevator in your level and assign the action

should work 100%

The player must have special sripting, already said.
Maybe you can trace from the player position.

But the elevator can be passable, depending by the trace_mode.
